Delicate scrolling wirework runs around the sides, while the base features an unusually pretty pierced floral design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domed upper section hinges open, allowing the whole top of the cage to lift away and making it wonderfully easy to create displays inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 50cm tall to the top of the hook and just 18cm in diameter, it has an elegant, slender proportion that makes it easy to display without taking up a great deal of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: approximately 50cm to top of hook\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: approximately 18cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those pieces that has almost endless styling possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeave it completely empty and the delicate wirework is decorative enough to make it an attractive object in its own right. But lift the hinged top and it becomes a lovely little display cage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can imagine it filled with dried hydrangeas, trailing foliage, old postcards or letters, a collection of little glass bottles, seasonal decorations or warm battery-operated fairy lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distressed cream finish is especially good. It stops the piece feeling too pristine and gives it exactly the slightly faded, timeworn character that works so well alongside old French stoneware, linen, baskets and rustic timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pre-owned decorative piece rather than a particularly old antique.
